Game Mechanics: Damage over Time display

[Daldaen]

June 11th 2003 patch:

Reporting Damage Over Time - Damage over Time (DoT) done to NPCs will now be reported to the caster every time it does damage. These messages can be filtered in the Options window.

Basically you should not get a message every tic that it does damage. Only a landing and a worn off message for your DoTs. Below, the bolded shouldn't display in game until post PoP.


[Mon Feb 20 12:43:46 2012] You begin casting Drones of Doom.
[Mon Feb 20 12:43:57 2012] a young puma has taken 34 damage from your Drones of Doom.
[Mon Feb 20 12:44:03 2012] a young puma was hit by non-melee for 34 points of damage.
[Mon Feb 20 12:44:03 2012] You have slain a young puma!
